Crude oil isn't just what powers your car - it's the world's most geopolitical commodity, shaping inflation, currencies, and global power. In this episode of Let's Talk Commodities, YES SECURITIES with Rahul Saini traces discovery of oil to today's volatile markets, unpacking OPEC+'s shifting grip on supply, the Strait of Hormuz, and why Venezuela's massive reserves haven't made it an oil power.
We also cover the US shale revolution, India's near-90% import dependence, its rise as a refined-products exporter, and the paradox that the renewable energy transition still runs on oil. Whether you track Brent, WTI, or MCX crude futures, this episode breaks down why oil remains central to any commodity investor's playbook.
